Gravel (specifically crusher run or crushed stone) is usually the better and more cost-effective base for driveways compared with sand. Sand is cheaper by volume but does not compact or shed water as well; a crushed stone base gives better stability and lasts longer, which can save money over time. Ask a local supplier about recommended base mixes that match Fredonia’s clay and drainage conditions.

"Type 4" naming can vary by region and supplier, so it may mean different sizes or blends depending on local practice. In general, check with the supplier to confirm particle size and whether it is crushed or rounded; for driveways you usually want a crushed stone or crusher run base and a medium-sized topcoat like 3/4" stone. If you are unsure, ask Hello Gravel to match you with a local material that contractors in Fredonia commonly use for driveways.

Locally, homeowners use gravel for driveways, parking pads, drainage trenches, French drains, landscape paths, and concrete mixes. Sand is typically used for setting pavers, in concrete mixes, or as a leveling layer under patios, but is not usually recommended as a driveway base. Consider Fredonia’s local drainage and frost conditions when choosing materials.

Ordering in bulk (meeting or exceeding the 3-ton minimum), choosing standard delivery windows, and working with local suppliers are the most cost-effective approaches in the Fredonia area. You can also save by grouping orders with neighbors or selecting common, local stone types that don’t require long hauling.

Coverage depends on depth and the gravel’s density, but a practical rule: 1 cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet and covers about 162 sq ft at 2" depth. Because crushed stone typically weighs about 1.4 tons per cubic yard, 1 ton covers roughly 100 to 120 sq ft at 2" depth. Four cubic yards will cover about 648 sq ft at 2" depth (adjust proportionally for deeper layers).

Costs vary with width, depth, material choice, and site prep, but as an example: a single-car 20 ft long by 10 ft wide driveway (200 sq ft) at 3" depth needs roughly 1.8 cubic yards (about 2.5 to 3 tons). Material at $30 to $60 per ton plus delivery means roughly $100 to $300 for material and delivery; add $200 to $800 or more for grading, compaction, and labor depending on local contractor rates and site difficulty. For an accurate estimate, get a local quote from Hello Gravel and a contractor familiar with Fredonia soil and drainage.

For driveways you should usually start with a compacted crusher run or crushed stone base to provide stability and drainage; sand is not a substitute for a structural base. Sand can be used under pavers or flagstones for leveling, but in Fredonia’s climate and soils a crushed base reduces rutting and improves longevity. Ask the supplier about recommended base depths for your expected traffic and local frost conditions.

A 10 cubic yard load contains roughly 13 to 16 tons depending on stone density, so material cost at $30 to $60 per ton would run about $400 to $1,000. Delivery fees, offloading, and any spreading or placement charges will add to that total; remote or difficult-to-access sites can increase the delivery fee. For a firm price to Fredonia, request a Hello Gravel quote for your zip code and preferred delivery date.

Materials called crusher run, dense grade aggregate, or road base compact and lock together to form a firm surface that behaves more like a stabilized layer than loose stone; polymer-stabilized gravels are also available in some markets. These products are commonly available in West Kentucky, but availability and exact mixes vary by supplier and quarry. Ask Hello Gravel to match you with local suppliers who carry stabilizing mixes used by area contractors.

Numbered grades vary regionally, but #3 is typically a medium-sized stone often about 1/2" to 1" in size and may include some smaller particles. It can be a good topcoat for driveways when paired with a compacted crusher-run base, providing decent drainage and traction. Confirm the exact size and angularity with your local supplier before ordering to make sure it fits your driveway plan.

A sand-and-gravel mix may be listed as pit run, bank run, concrete mix, or a sand-gravel blend depending on local naming; sharp sand or mason sand refers to sand used for pavers. Order these mixes when you need material for concrete, backfill, or leveling under pavers—tell the supplier the intended use so they provide the correct blend. Use Hello Gravel’s product descriptions and local supplier notes to confirm the exact mix for Fredonia projects.
